The Past. . .

. . . is just over there.
Behind that building, over that small hillock, across that body of strange black-green water. . .

Always with us, in short.

To warm us, jog our memory or our conscience, make us smile or sigh.
Here are several images from last year - fulfilling the latter role; a smiling at happy memories, a sighing contentedly.

The first = Handmade and Bound event (St. Bride Library) with Mette Ambeck and John Bently beyond.
The second = Small Publishers Fair (Conway Hall) with M.A and her flock of books.
The third = Whitechapel Gallery London Art Book Fair 2012 again with my partner in books – and indeed all else.

Charlie Higson web article link

Through the auspices of David Reilly in Marketing at University for the Creative Arts (my day job) an article appeared on their main website about my illustrated map for the 'Enemy' series of novels by C. Higson Esq. just before the New Year.
It includes new commentary from both myself and Charlie and is still available to read at the location below - just follow the link. . .
